Galadriel inference node

Galadriel is building the world’s largest distributed LLM inference network - for developers to scale their LLM apps while cutting costs.

Run a Galadriel GPU node to provide LLM inference to the network.

Check out the quickstart in the documentation to get started.

Requirements

Hardware requirements

• At least 4 CPU cores
• At least 8GB RAM
• A supported Nvidia GPU

Software requirements

• linux (Ubuntu recommended)
• python (version 3.10+)
• nvidia drivers, version > 450. nvidia-smi must work

API keys

• A valid galadriel API key, gotten from the Galadriel dashboard

Run a GPU node from the command line

Create a (separate) python environment

deactivate
mkdir galadriel
cd galadriel
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install galadriel-node

pip install galadriel-node

Setup the environment

Only update values that are not the default ones, and make sure to set the API key

galadriel init

Run the node

galadriel node run

If this is your first time running the GPU node, it will perform hardware validation and LLM benchmarking, to ensure your setup is working correctly and is fast enough.

Or run with nohup to run in the background

nohup galadriel node run > logs.log 2>&1 &

Check node status

galadriel node status

Should see status: online

Additional commands

Check LLM status

galadriel node llm-status

The output should contain:

✓ LLM server at http://your_llm_address is accessible via HTTP.
✓ LLM server at http://your_llm_address successfully generated tokens.
